In some patients, such as those with liver problems, kidney problems or those who recently have lost body fluids, e.g., through vomiting or diarrhoea or by using water tablets, the doctor may prescribe a lower starting dose. Some black patients may have a reduced response to this type of medicine, when given as the only treatment, and these patients may need a higher dose.
